Avenatti pleads not guilty in fed and bank fraud case

Possible candidate for the 2020 presidential race or a seat on Brian Stelter's crack news team should he not get the nod, Michael Avenatti, the former attorney for porn performer Stormy Daniels, pleaded not guilty Monday on federal charges that he allegedly stole millions of dollars from his clients, failed to pay taxes and lied in bankruptcy cases.

The 48-year-old bald person, who was indicted earlier this month on 36 counts including wire and bank fraud, appeared in federal court for an arraignment in Santa Ana, California on Monday. It's a fact that he didn't get there on his private jet plane as it was confiscated by the feds. But he is said to have a second jet plane which he may have used to make his court appearance.

Prosecutors accused the pile of human pond scum of embezzling settlement funds and proceeds from other matters he handled for five clients and doled out small portions, sometimes labeling them as advances to prevent thefts from being discovered. One of his clients from whom he allegedly embezzled funds, was a paraplegic man.

Rumor has it that there are actual photos of Avenatti kicking a puppy and an elderly matron on a cane as he laughed.

Avenatti has denied the charges and blamed Trump and his white supremacist friends, like Netanyahu.

Ahead of the arraignment, he said he had made powerful enemies and would fight the case. Most of the enemies he has made are clients to whom he has stolen money--allegedly.

"The right to a presumption of innocence and the right to a jury trial are two fundamental rights that our founding fathers demanded when this country was formed over 200 years ago," he said in a statement earlier Monday, something he didn't say about Brett Kavanaugh when he was testifying in front of the Senate.

As part of the 61-indictment against him, Avenatti is accused of embezzling from a paraplegic man and four other clients and deceiving them by shuffling money between accounts to pay off small portions of what they were due to lull them into thinking they were getting paid.

He is also accused of not paying personal income taxes, not paying taxes for his various businesses – including two law firms – and pocketing payroll taxes from the Tully’s Coffee chain that he owned, the indictment said.

If convicted on all charges, he faces 335 years in prison, federal investigators have said, which he then screamed, "I can do that time standing on my f***ing head, you Trump-loving bast**ds!"

Avenatti was arrested in March in New York on a separate case alleging he demanded millions to stay quiet about claims he planned to reveal about Nike paying high school athletes. He is accused of trying to shake the athletic clothes empire of up to $25 million.

He faces up to 47 years in prison and has denied any wrongdoing in that case as well.

The only question is, will those 47 years be tacked onto the 335 years, making it 382 years, or is the 335 years the total? Those extra 47 years would definitely be a life sentence for him.

The Comedy News Network's Brian Stelter, who tries to give the impression that he is not gay, is quite sad over the Avenatti situation as he was hoping to share quality air time with him on set.

The charges are the latest blow to a legal career that took off when Avenatti represented the frequently naked on camera Daniels in her lawsuit to break a confidentiality agreement with Trump to stay mum about an affair they allegedly had that lasted approximately 43 seconds and it was over.
